OUR SERVICES
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning removes selected branches from within the canopy to increase light and airflow without significantly altering the overall size or shape of the tree. It is the preferred approach when a tree is casting too much shade but is too large or valuable to reduce. More on our Crown Thinning page.
Deadwooding
Dead branches within a tree's canopy can fall without warning, causing injury or damage below. Deadwooding removes these branches before they become a hazard. It is an important part of routine tree maintenance, particularly on trees overhanging paths, driveways, play areas and buildings. See our Deadwooding page for full details.
Tree Surveys
A tree survey provides a professional assessment of the trees on a property, recording their condition, any defects identified and any recommended works. Surveys are often required by mortgage lenders, insurers, planning authorities and solicitors during property transactions. Our qualified arborists prepare surveys to the relevant British Standards. Learn more on our Tree Surveys page.
Emergency Tree Works
When a tree or limb fails suddenly and creates a hazard, we respond quickly to make the site safe. Our Emergency Tree Works service covers the Fordingbridge area and is available throughout our opening hours. If you have a dangerous tree situation, call 07401 310677 now. Full details on our Emergency Tree Works page.
Canopy Lifting
Canopy lifting removes the lower branches of a tree to raise the height of the crown above ground level. This improves clearance for vehicles, pedestrians and mowing, and can improve the view under the tree from a building. More information is on our Canopy Lifting page.
Pollarding Assessment
Not every tree is suitable for pollarding, and not every pollard has been managed correctly in the past. Our Pollarding Assessment service involves a qualified arborist visiting your trees to assess their suitability, history and current condition, and advising on the best way forward. Read more on our Pollarding Assessment page.
ABOUT US
Future Trees & Garden Maintenance was founded over 20 years ago right here in the Fordingbridge area. What started as a small tree surgery business has grown into a full tree and garden maintenance service covering the SP6 postcode and beyond. We are proud to be NPTC qualified, which means our arborists meet the nationally recognised standard for safe and competent tree work. We have worked in back gardens in Breamore, along the lanes of Woodgreen, on large rural estates near Rockbourne, and on roadside trees throughout the New Forest fringe. We know this landscape well and we care about keeping it beautiful and safe.

Working in the Fordingbridge area gives us a wide variety of trees to work with. The Avon Valley has some exceptional riverside willows, there are ancient oaks and beeches on the edges of the New Forest, and the lanes and gardens of the SP6 villages contain a tremendous variety of mature ornamental and native species. We regularly carry out tree surveys on properties in Damerham, Whitsbury and Crendell, where old trees form an important part of the local character.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an arborist do that a tree surgeon doesn't in Fordingbridge?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but an arborist typically provides a higher level of assessment and advisory work alongside the practical tree surgery. In the Fordingbridge area, Future Trees & Garden Maintenance provides arborist services including tree surveys, pollarding assessments and deadwooding programmes, as well as full tree surgery. All our arborists are NPTC qualified.
Do I need a tree survey for my property near Fordingbridge?
Tree surveys are commonly required when selling or buying a property, when applying for planning permission, or when an insurer or mortgage lender requests one. They are also a good idea if you have concerns about a large or mature tree on your land. Future Trees & Garden Maintenance carries out tree surveys across Fordingbridge and the wider SP6 area.
How quickly can an arborist visit my property in the Fordingbridge area?
Future Trees & Garden Maintenance offers free same day quotes, which means we aim to visit your property in the Fordingbridge area the same day you call. For formal tree surveys we will agree a suitable appointment time. Call us on 07401 310677 and we will arrange a visit as soon as possible.
